"It is in sharing our struggles and vulnerabilities that we connect with others and inspire change in them. Empathy and experience are some of our most powerful connecting points. By offering my own personal struggles, I hope to let others know that they are not alone, and that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times."No one should ever feel ashamed for struggling mentally. Going to therapy for mental health should be as normal as going to a doctor for a broken leg. No one is a lost cause, and no one should ever be made to feel that way. Each and every human being on this planet should be given the opportunity to experience love and be given opportunities to turn their lives around. We never truly know what someone has gone through in their personal life. If we want to truly help someone, the most important thing we can do is listen to them. It doesn't matter where you come from or what you have been through, you can become anything you set your mind to. I hope you overcome the struggles you tell no one about."This world needs the healed and healthy version of you."Herb Stepherson founded Genesis of Recovery, an intervention firm that helps any and all who suffer from the disease of addiction.
